大阪IP書店 at Dotonbori, Osaka

Anime, manga and VTuber merchandise shop in TSUTAYA Ebisubashi basement.

Osaka IP Shoten is a merchandise-driven concept store on the basement floor of TSUTAYA EBISUBASHI, opened in December 2024 as the second branch after the original Shibuya location and the first in western Japan. Operated by Culture Convenience Club (CCC), the shop gathers IP - intellectual property - entertainment content under one roof, stocking around 20,000 items drawn from roughly 30 properties across manga, anime and VTuber franchises, with more than half the catalogue exclusive to IP Shoten. The 396-square-metre space is laid out like a comic market, with each property given its own dedicated shelving section, and a rotating programme of pop-up shops, gallery displays and collaboration events keeps the line-up fresh. The shop is open from 10:00 to 22:00 year-round and accepts cashless payment only, so visitors should arrive with a card, smartphone wallet or IC card ready. Publisher-branded corners such as the Akita Shoten store-in-store bring exclusive goods from specific magazine titles, while tie-ups with VTuber agencies and game franchises drop limited items that can sell through quickly. It suits hardcore fans hunting exclusive merch, casual browsers who enjoy the spectacle of themed displays, and tourists wanting a distinctly modern Japanese shopping experience away from the usual souvenir stands. Down in the basement of one of Dotonbori's busiest entertainment buildings, Osaka IP Shoten distils the energy of Japanese pop culture into a single, photogenic floor. Whether you leave with a rare acrylic stand or just a phone full of display photos, it is a vivid snapshot of what fans in Japan are loving right now.
